ERC grant goes to Ester Oras!
Our director, Ester Oras, Associate Professor in Analytical Chemistry and Archaeology at the University of Tartu, has received a Starting Grant from the European Research Council (ERC) to study the identities of our distant ancestors based on their diet. Over the next five years, Archemy team plan to conduct an in-depth biomolecular analysis of at least 150 ancient burials to uncover new layers in the lives of people from a thousand years ago and broaden the range of research methods available to archaeologists.
